Devin Ebanks still has at least three colleges to visit after he plays in the Jordan Brand Classic tomorrow at Madison Square Garden.

It’s not exactly how the Long Island City native expected to spend his spring, especially after he committed to Indiana over the summer and signed with the Hoosiers in the fall.

But that was before then-Indiana coach Kelvin Sampson was dumped after he and his staff were found to have violated NCAA rules by making illegal phone calls to recruits – the same infraction that Sampson got in trouble for at Oklahoma.

Fortunately, Ebanks’ advisers had Indiana put a clause in his letter of intent that stipulated that if Sampson or his staff were fired or committed any violations, he could be let out and free to find another school.

“It was the first time I’d heard of it,” said the 6-foot-8 Ebanks, who went to Loughlin prior to spending the past two years at St. Thomas More prep school. “I think everyone should have a plan B.”

Ebanks said Indiana went along with the request and he had no trouble getting his release. He visited West Virginia last week and has trips planned to Rutgers and Texas, as well as a final one to Memphis on May 9. He also may add Georgia Tech to his list before deciding later in May where he will play next season.

“It was heartbreaking,” Ebanks said of how things fell apart in Bloomington. “But it’s the nature of the business. You get over it.”

So, would he recommend other recruits do the same thing?

“You have to do whatever makes you comfortable,” Ebanks said. “It has to be your decision.”

Khalid Green started his season by attending Nets practices in East Rutherford and will end it on Saturday coaching at the Garden.

In between, he led his Bishop Loughlin squad to the Brooklyn/Queens Diocesan title and the CHSAA AA semifinals, having considerably more success than either the Nets and Knicks.

“Any time you do things like this, you help the program’s credibility,” said the Lions’ head coach, who will share coaching duties with Canarsie’s Tom Allen in tomorrow’s Regional Game.

That’s why he took the Nets up on their offer to attend about 20 practices. The team hopes to move to Brooklyn soon, not far from Loughlin.

“I was able to implement a lot of drills,” Green said. “I would leave there with a million notes and plays, but you have to be realistic.”
